Microsoft Teams - iPad app
I too am a secondary school Maths teacher!
We have used OneNote for a few years but have started using Teams since lockdown, so we are all on a steep learning curve!
We had the same problem and our IT Dept came up with something that worked.
On a PC (or I used Citrix to remote into my school PC desktop as I am iPad only at home) go to the online version of Teams and go to the Team you are trying to use.
Click on Files and after a minute or two a “Class Materials” folder should be created here (this is as feature of Class Teams and is where you can store files that you want to be read-only to students - like the Content Library in OneNote).
Then when you go to the iPad app everything should work properly.
It worked for me, as they say!
This should mean you don’t need to use PC and iPad together to create and run meetings.
I too am a big GoodNotes fan. a lovely app.
Hope this helps.

Let me start with a disclaimer; I am a greenhorn to MS Team so my observation may be mistaken. I understand you cannot start a meeting today here and now on MS Teams on the Ipad (iOS). If most of the other Apps can initiate a Meeting on the Ipad, I do not see why it should be any different with Microsoft Teams for iPad Pro; it may be ok to start a meeting on the PC then move to the Tablet, but often we are not lugging with both equipment. If I am right then Microsoft needs to up its game on this, it should have equal of not more capable resources than Zoom and the ilk.
The_Maruti If you use the work around I talk about earlier in the thread, and do it just once, then after that you will be able to initiate Meetings from the iPad app. Hope this helps.
Thanks! You have redeemed a distressed soul; I will give it a shot and share my experience.
